  • I don't think the resolved issues are actually ones about error messages. They largely seem to be meta issues about the project. As far as I know nothing that project has done has made it into a released GHC yet, but GHC 9.6 will have unique error codes for each error pointing to an entry on https://errors.haskell.org/. Both the codes and the website are achievements of that project, specifically under its error-messages-index incarnation. If you'd like to contribute you may like to read https://github.com/haskellfoundation/error-message-index/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md or post a message introducing yourself on https://github.com/haskell/error-messages/issues/new.

  • error-message-index
